    Coonie. Get out your BIG purse, I'll go with you!

    EWB. I can't remember if we've welcomed you to the beach before?? LOL.

    I know I know you from other threads, but for the life of me, can't figure out if you've been a beach walker.......... hmmmm.

    These are two of my favorite colors, together:

    Faithie.........I'll just carry the bag you just posted.

    EWB, I know we've chatted before, but I'm not sure it was on the beach.

    If not, then we welcome you with open flip flops......hehe

    Elaine..... you can always use another pair of flip-flops.

    (If you got into the habit of posting lots & lots -- then I can probably keep it all straight. LOL)

    Coonie. What times the appointment? Do I need to set my alarm clock?

    Be sure that you give us a report, just as soon as possible.

    Ohhh no alarm clock needed Faithie. It's not until 3:30 tomorrow afternoon. It was originally for this Friday, but they sent me a card rescheduling for tomorrow. I know I shouldn't be worried, but everytime I thought about it today, I got nauseated. Guess I'm just a big ole baby.....waaawaaawaaa

    3:30 will work PERFECTLY with the rest of my day's schedule.

    Go ahead and feel every emotion -- no use keepin' in bottled up.

    Roll with the roller coaster.

    Faithie........I saw that cuuuuuuuutieee baby on your blog that was being baptized. I think his name is Michael? Well...................I WANT HIM...hehe  lol..............He's got the CUTEST and chunkiest legs. His feet look so fat, one of his sock was coming off. Just adorable. I'll just take him with me to the doctor. That'll calm my nerves:) You have a beautiful family!!

    MaK!!! Just what I need. Absolutely perfect.

    Coonie that is our big-baby Michael. He is 21 pounds at 5 months old.

    (Our babeez weighed in at 19 pounds & 16 pounds at their checkups last week and that was their year old weight.... now I know they're on the small side..... but obviously our Michael is something of a Mack truck, but such a happy guy. Seriously happy.)

    He is the fourth child, the first son..... his oldest sister is 16 and driving..... so there's gonna be fun on the horizon for a long time ahead. Mommy is 41.

    COONIE.....You have Every right to feel that way.....Big Gentle Hugs Of Comfort your way.  I will wake up tomorrow afternoon....Wiating for your report....

    LISA.... thank you so much for thinking of me.....The Roses are beautiful! Thank you for sharing with us.

    EWB....I'm off to work soon so I will look for something later for your arrival at the beach!

    FAITH.....I thought You were out & about again.....Very frustraiting when the PUTER goes Ca Pooy!

    Ok....The Update on my Son....He saw his GI Dr this afternoon....& the Dr. has decided to treat him like he has Crohn's.....On Monday by the Grace of the Higher Up & Gallons of Water....He will have another go round with an Upper GI Small Bowel testing.....He has to FLUSH the Barium from the CT scan yesterday out so they can do the testing On Monday. The CT showed inflamation in the Surgical Site .....which could mean Crohn's or Ulcerative Colitis. No Concrete answers yet. But the plan is to treat for now until definate answers are had. 2 meds taken several times a day.....building up to even more meds....Slow build up. I'm hoping it helps with the Pain. That way he can get off the Narc meds. Thank You All for the Wonderful Prayers & thoughts for US!

    I haven't had a chance to read back but I know there must all kinds of things and happenings.

    Julz.  I did read this page and I hope and pray your son gets thru this with out any major dx.

    I have to go back and see Faith's grands.  There cuteness is legend here on the beach and I can't believe so much time has gone by already. 

    Back to read what's going on with coonie. 

    The local's are doing pedicures on the beach today.  Sign ups at the Lava Hut.  I'm getting mine right now.

    Coonie, those visits will get easier as time goes on.  Try not to worry.  I ride on the back of the bike.  I am so busy looking around, I would kill myself if I was driving!  LOL

    Sahalie, sign me up for one of those pedicures.  Although they would probably run away when they see what chemo did to my toenails!!!!

    Julz, any word about your DS today?

    Hey Beachettes....DS seems to be better today....has not had to take any pain meds so far....Interesting stuff came in the mail for him today......An official apology (sort of) from the Hospital where he had the Surgery....."We strive for excellence in the provision of patient care & service. Despite our best efforts, some times unanticipated adverse outcomes to care do occur. When such events occur, we are committed to ensuring that patients and/or their family members are informed promptly and that their questions and concerns are addressed."....."I understand that Dr.$%^$# discussed the event that occurred with you. I can appreciate how difficult this occurrence must have been for you. Please be assure that we view an event such as this as an opportunity to implement new services & improvements when needed."  "If you have any further questions, please do not hesitated to contact Dr.... or Dr......"

    Much water Smoothing going on at my end of the Beach.....They are trying to cover their kiester's.....but the funny part is the operating surgeon was just as hot headed as my son was & they want my son to call him with any ?'s he might have......LOL! But so sad!   Had they just Listened to the Whole Story of Family history His & His Brothers ...... maybe things could of turned out differently....Undecided!  What makes a Dr....truly exceptional.....IS HIS/HER LISTENING COMPASSIONATE COMMUNICATION SKILLS....

    Coonie......I'm Here thinking of YOU.....Knowing the "Squirrels" are having a Jolly ole time running around in your mind creating havoc! Ready to hear the Word so we can have a "Squirrel" Calming Party on the Beach later!!!!

    Faith.....I love the 'GRAND' updates.....they will catch up soon enough....They are Happy & Healthy.....That's what counts.....Time sure does Fly!!!! Love that Roller Coaster.....but I think I want OFF for a Good long while......Wink!

    Sharon.....I hope so 2!

    Janny Babes.....Somehow I think you could hold your own on that big Ole Bike! Tee he he he! But I vote for the Looking around mode.....I would be using some O2 so I could breathe through the Panic of the Ride! HA HA HA!

    Arnie....I'm loving the Private Beach.....Very Peaceful!!!! Thanks for your View!

    Sharon.....It's gonna be OK.....Some how I gotta Believe......we are gonna have some Good News!

    Sahalie.....Thanks for thinking of me & my DS....You Know I am So Ready for a TOE JAM session.......

    Starting to Look Much Better.....

    julz.  Good news is good news equals Happy. 

    Those are my feet with french tips.  

    Did you know they serve complimentry bevs while pampering us.

    Sharon.  What is damaged?  That flew right over my beach umbrella. 

    Wholly smokes those are some hairy legs.  

    Janny.   XOXO.   Status on the knee?

    coonie.  Are you east coast?  Should we get in positive thoughts position yet?

    I wish everyone a good carefree, pain free and good things happening day.

    Work is screaming at me.  Laters.

    The knee is slow going, Sahalie.  I really thought my rehab would be easier than this.

    Sharon, you would not believe what my toenails do.  They curve around and dig into my toes.  It's hard to describe, but really wacky looking.  I really should get my butt to a Podiatrist!  They were not like this before chemo.
